We were forcibly reminded of the
consequence of a county paper by our
delay in publication last week. The
local demand for THE REPUBLICAN
was frequent and urgent, and the mails
Of Monday brought letters of inquiry
from abroad. We are pleased to ac-
knowledge this manifestation of our
friends, and hope to greet them with
customary regularity in the future.
A great many came TO attend the
political meeting advertised for last
Friday evening. Several farmers from
Viola township, and Others who came
nine or ten miles shared the dsap-

called with sad memories.

to stay at home. The title of "Ilonor-
able has been prelixed for the emer.
gency, and is quite ridiculous to those
acquainted with his achievements. The

sound quite as euphonious.
Mr.. Frank Ierndon has raised a crop
Of potatoes, OF the White Elephant va
